Sonic boom from quenched jets Casalderrey,ES,Teaney, hep-ph/0411..; H.Stocker…
• the energy deposited by jets into liquid-like strongly coupled QGP must go into conical shock waves, similar to the well known sonic boom from supersonic planes.
• We solved relativistic hydrodynamics and got the flow picture
• If there are start and end points, there are two spheres and a cone tangent to both

Peaks get sharper! (in isoscalar but not isovector dens. Susceptibility):
can it be a sign of a massless sigma?((mu/T)^6, Bielefeld+UK,hep-lat)

• In vacuum and at mu=0, finite T sigma cannot show in vector correlators – C
parity… => no peak• But at nonzero it is in fact possible due to 2-loop diagram
Unfortunately small due to 2 baryons (K.Redlich) while the usual resonance gas describes well the l.h.s. of the peakThe r.h.s.=>Baryon melting!

NN interactions
• The well known Walecka model => near exact cancellation between the two potentials
• If sigma mass ->0, huge attraction,
•if omega mass also - >0, huge repulsion
![Page 15: Hadronic interactions are strongly modified near the QCD critical point](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052702/568143f4550346895db07e7e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Examples of modified NN potential
• Black – the usual• Red sigma
mass=280 MeV and usual omega
• Blue (``realistic”) is sigma mass=280 MeV and omega mass=500 MeV

Rho,omega mass shifts
• Mesons don’t have omega-induced repulsion => no cancellations
• V(vectors)=(2/3)V(baryons)• Tested at RHIC (STAR) where (according to
G.Brown+ES) it contributed about 30 MeV to observed rho mass shift
• Reduction of m(sigma) by factor 2 leads to a factor 4 increase, to about 120 MeV,
(and that was for near-freezeout T=120 MeV)• This is additional to other reasons for mass shift,
and produces no width• NA60 also sees excess at M=400-500 MeV in a
dilepton spectrum, although less than CERES

M changes sign when sqrt(s)>m(sigma)!

Let us now loot at the data, e.g.
• This is 158 GeVA from NA49, left v2 for pions, right for N, 3 centrality bins
• It is the normal case, with maxima at midrapidity
![Page 24: Hadronic interactions are strongly modified near the QCD critical point](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052702/568143f4550346895db07e7e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

seen) our

Evaluating the Mach cone
• Distance traveled by sound is reduced since it is 1/3^(1/2) in QGP, about 0 in the mixed phase and .2^(1.2) in a resonance gas
• Cs_av=\int dt c_s(t)/t_f = .33 (not Cs^2!)
• Theta=arcos(Cs_av/c)=71 degrees or 1.23 rad

Calculation of the ionization rateES+Zahed, hep-ph/0406100
• Smaller than radiative loss if L>.5-1 fm
• Is there mostly near the zero binding lines,
• Thus it is different from both radiative and elastic looses, which are simply proportional to density
• Relates to non-trivial energy dependence of jet quenching (smaller at 62 and near absent at SPS)
dE/dx in GeV/fm vs T/Tc for a gluon 15,10,5 GeV. Red-elastic, black -ionization

How strong is strong?For a screened Coulomb potential, Schr.eqn.=>a simple
condition for a bound state
• (4/3)s (M/MDebye) > 1.68
• M(charm) is large, MDebye is not, about 2T
• If (Md) indeed runs and is about ½-1, it is large enough to bind charmonium till about T=3Tc
• Since q and g quasiparticles are heavy,
M about 3T, they are bound as well !

Digression :Relativistic Klein-Gordon eqn has a critical Coulomb coupling for falling onto the center (known since 1920’s)
• (4/3)s=1/2 is too strong, a critical value for Klein-Gordon (and it is 1 for Dirac).

Solving for binary bound statesES+I.Zahed, hep-ph/0403127
• In QGP there is no confinement =>
• Hundreds of colored channels may have bound states as well!

``Polymerization of sQGP?Multibody bound states
(Casalderrey and ES, in progress)
• Qbar - g - g - g -…- g - Q
• color convoluted inside naturally
• ``Polymeric chains” are better bound than pairs because instead of m(reduced)=m/2 in relative motion in binaries there is nearly the full mass for polymers
